This sign is wrong on so many levels I almost can't count them all:

I don't know what the font is, but I'm pretty sure it's not Arial.

It's also located in the elevator lobby, nowhere near any of the doors.

Not that it matters, but that font is Optima, or a close knockoff.

Optima is a nice font. It's not Arial, which is mandated in the law, but it is one of my favorite fonts. I put Foshay's wording into Word in Optima and it looks quite similar.

Good eye, Mr. Cannon!

Wrong font, not near doors, the print is gold not black. It does look like the sign is large enough, the letters are large enough, it's at the right height, and the background is white. So they could easily have made it less compliant.

There was a time I knew my fonts, and knew my kerning and leading.

And, yes, occasionally I do have too much time on my hands.
